GENOA, Italy (AP) — Argentina’s 20-year-old midfielder Nico Paz showed off his talent by providing an expert assist in Como’s 1-1 draw at Genoa in Serie A. Paz, who provided an assist for Lionel Messi during his Argentina debut last month, set up an early goal for Lucas Da Cunha when he spun around on the edge of the area and slid the ball right onto the foot of his oncoming teammate. Da Cunha then bent a shot around a defender. Alessandro Vogliacco scored an injury-time equalizer for Genoa. Promoted Como is 14th and Alberto Gilardino’s Genoa is 15th.
